Throwback Thursday – Testing Truth

By Cynthia Sax on May 14, 2026

I think of Testing Truth as my fairytale cyborg romance.

The human heroine is a princess. The cyborg hero is her dedicated (though rarely serious) warrior champion.

There’s a quest. And adventure. Love and, of course, the romantic happy ending.

(smiles)

Testing Truth

A fun-loving cyborg gets serious about love.

***

Truth lives each moment as though it were his last. The cyborg warrior rushes into danger, teases beings he shouldn’t provoke, accepts every call of adventure he encounters.

When a prissy little human princess floats into the Rebel structure Truth is occupying, seeking a mercenary to assist her and her unusual entourage, he volunteers to be her warrior. She claims their assignment is dangerous, warns him he might not survive the task.

That is exactly the type of fun he has been seeking.

Princess Nanette of the planet Royaume must rescue her estranged brother from an enemy prison ship. That is her duty, and she has been trained to always place the needs of her planet and her subjects before her own. Nancy doesn’t have the freedom to indulge her passions for a certain dark-haired, gray-skinned cyborg. Not permanently and not publicly.

But she is unable to resist the warrior. Truth, with his laughing eyes, smiling lips, and rough hands, tempts her as no one else ever has. He could be her one fleeting act of rebellion before she’s matched with the powerful ruler her planet requires.

If they survive their current mission.

Their love is doomed. Their lifespans are at risk. This cyborg and his princess will need the help of every ally they have if they wish to see another sunrise.

Cyborg Valentine’s Day Wishes

By Cynthia Sax on February 14, 2026

In the past, I’ve asked the cyborgs, the modified humanoids and the Chameles if they wished to share Valentine’s Day poems with you.

They didn’t quite understand the meaning of the holiday. (grins) But I thought you might enjoy their attempts.

Here’s one from Truth from Testing Truth…

Truth loves his human princess.

They share a link.

For her, he’d do anything

Even wear pink.

***

Here is an interesting one from Cadet from Seizing Power…

The universe is huge.  

The size of space is vast.

When Cadet meets Power,

She’ll kick his a$$.

***

This is from all of the cyborgs…

Roses Are Red.

Cyborgs Are Strong.

Choosing One As Your Warrior

Can Never Be Wrong.

***

And here’s a poem from Balvan from Dark Thoughts

Roses are red.

Gatekeepers are green.

Balvan is the biggest male

You have ever seen.

***

And Kralj from Dark Thoughts wrote a poem.

Roses are red.

Rulers don’t rhyme.

If you expect a poem from Kralj,

You’ll be waiting a long time.

***

Have a wonderful day, my friends!

Know that you are much loved.

Throwback Thursday – Defying Death

By Cynthia Sax on January 8, 2026

Cyborgs are assigned a model letter and number. They give themselves names.

The cyborg hero of Defying Death gave himself the rather grim name of Death.

Because that is how he perceives himself – as the bringer of death.

And that is all he ever expects to experience – seeing death, delivering death, his own death ultimately in battle.

Until he meets Tifara, a human medic determined to keep all those around her alive.

And to bring a heart-dead cyborg back to life.

Defying Death

He’ll risk it all for one moment of happiness.

Cyborgs don’t show emotion. Death learned that lesson early in his long lifespan. To survive, he hides his fierce passions behind a stoic wall. He calls no warrior friend. He never admits to caring for any being.

Even the human female he’s destined to love.

Tifara is Death’s obsession, his sole opportunity for happiness, to express the all-consuming passion burning brightly inside him. He’ll do anything to obtain the curvaceous medic: defy a direct order, abduct Tifara from her battle station, and wage war on his fellow cyborgs.

To earn her love, he’ll have to risk much, much more.

Throwback Thursday – Crash And Burn

By Cynthia Sax on December 11, 2025

Crash And Burn is one of the emotionally toughest stories I’ve ever written.

It IS a romance, which means the main couple (or more) will earn their Romantic Happy Ever After. And my romances always have Romantic Happy EVER Afters. Past couples (or more) are always safe.

But everyone is at risk. And the cyborgs are at war.

Beings, even cyborgs, die in wars.

Crash was manufactured to be one of the best warriors in the universe. The cyborg has spent many human lifespans fighting the enemy. But, unlike his battle-loving brethren, he doesn’t enjoy killing. When he escapes the Humanoid Alliance, he vows to never end another life.

Then he meets Safyre, an infuriating human female, and he considers breaking his vow.

Safyre will do anything to save her friend, the being she loves like a sister. She’ll ravish a huge hunky cyborg, kiss his best friend, and invoke scorching hot desires the male never realized he could feel. Dark soulful eyes, a quick wit, and a tempestuous passion won’t divert her from her mission.

Love, and a planet-destroying weapon, however, might stop her permanently.

Throwback Thursday – Dark Strength

By Cynthia Sax on December 4, 2025

If you like your heroes HUGE and green and bald, Balvan in Dark Strength is the modified humanoid for you!

(grins)

I can’t call him a gentle giant (although he is VERY gentle with his human heroine and the small furry creatures he rescues), however, because he’s very much a warrior and he loves stomping on the skulls of his enemies, crushing them under his boots.

Dark Strength Alien Romance

Dark Strength

The Bigger They Are, The Harder They Fall.

Balvan, the Refuge’s Gatekeeper, is huge, green, and has a reputation for crushing skulls. He’s a modified humanoid, genetically designed to be the ultimate warrior. One of a kind and considered monstrous by many, he never expects to find his mate, the one female meant for him.

Elyce, snatched from her home half a solar cycle ago, has finally escaped her brutal captors. She arrives at the Refuge barely alive. Only a blood transfusion from the largest male she has ever seen will save her life. But it will also bind her to him forever. Staring up, up, up at him, she wonders why she wants to be free. His gentle touch revives yearnings she thought dead. His lips set her skin ablaze. His massive muscles make her feel safe.

That feeling could be an illusion. Elyce’s captors want their slave back and they won’t stop until they have her. To give his mate her freedom, Balvan might be forced to give up everything he has – his role as the Gatekeeper, Elyce’s love, and his life.

Dark Strength is a STANDALONE Alien SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes violent universe.

Throwback Thursday – Breathing Vapor

By Cynthia Sax on November 20, 2025

I love cyborgs. I love assassin heroes.

The hero of Breathing Vapor is both and I love him SO much.

His next target is Mira, a human female and his genetic match.

This is a true enemies to lovers romance.

(grins)

Breathing Vapor

Vapor is the most advanced cyborg the Humanoid Alliance has ever developed. He’s a finely honed weapon, a warrior without parallel, half man and half machine. No lock can contain him. No being can stop him. Whatever he wants, he takes.

He wants Mira Breazeal, the Designer’s daughter.

She’s his one temptation, his sexy target. Vapor shouldn’t crave her caresses, steal her kisses, make her scream with ecstasy. The cyborgs want her dead and they would question his loyalty if he didn’t kill her. The humans would shoot him on sight if he dared to touch her.

Their love is forbidden. Their desire could be lethal. One human and one cyborg will risk everything for a moment of passion.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – October 19

By Cynthia Sax on October 19, 2025

I continue to have fun with my super secret project. It gives me so much joy and that’s a gift on its own. (smiles)

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Write your to-do list or other notes to yourself in a different colored ink. Research shows writing in different colors stimulates different parts of our brains. So this is like a little workout for your gray matter. (grins)

Containing Malice

This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.

***

Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.

His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.

He wants her. He also seeks retribution.

Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.

Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.

The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.

Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.

***

Containing Malice is a STANDALONE enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It is the first of five core stories in the Rebel Cyborgs Series.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – September 28

By Cynthia Sax on September 28, 2025

I continue to have fun with my secret writing project. (smiles) It is giving me so much joy.

I’m also working on re-releasing some previously published stories. I like the idea of having them once again out there in the world. Hopefully they’ll give reading buddies some joy. They certainly gave me joy rereading them.

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Listen to a song from one of the happiest periods of your life. Remember that joy, that love, that awesomeness. Dance in your chair a little. Sing off tune.

Have fun, my friends. You deserve fun.


B Free

B is the last remaining B Model cyborg. All of his brethren, the beings he trained with, fought with, cared deeply for, have perished.

Or so he believes.

When he intercepts a communication mentioning the existence of one of his kind, he has to investigate its source. The message could be a trap set by his enemies. He’ll take that risk if it secures him the companionship he requires to be fully functional.

What he finds is a daring brown-eyed female who activates all his systems. She proudly proclaims she’s a researcher, brandishing that information like a weapon before her. He wants to kiss the sass off her beautiful face, protect her from the dangers around them, claim her forever.

Quinn is on a quest to locate the mechanics of an early-version cyborg. She believes the information captured within that frame will give her valuable insights into the past.

When her mission goes zombie-like beings levels of wrong, she comes face-to-face with a living, breathing B Model. He has big hands, a primitive countenance, and stern hard lips crafted for kissing.

She doesn’t trust him. And she doesn’t have time to indulge her desires.

Their shared enemies are chasing them, would kill to get their precious specimens back. One minor mistake could reduce B and Quinn to a mere line in the databases of history.
